The Commonwealth of Nephtali

The Commonwealth

Earth

The Commonwealth of Nephtali is located in southeastern Sisgardia. It's lands are predominately vast tropical rainforests with some plains and temperate areas in the far west and northwest. There is only one major city, Oleander, which runs for the majority of the western coast of the waterway.

Government

The Commonwealth is an inoffensive centrist democracy. Domestic matters are handled by an elected Senate, while foreign policies are handled by an elected Chancellor. Corporations often exercise extreme political power. This is countered by laws which only allow citizens unaffiliated with the corporations to run for office. Possibly the only thing saving the Commonwealth from itself is the extreme nationalism of its people.

Important Government Individuals:

• Chancellor Elkanah
  
• Sisgardian Ambassador Ezra Shai
  

Military

The Commonwealth Military Contract is a collection of government contracted private companies which defend the nation. There are 2 main fleet. One protects Commonwealth assets in Sol. The other explores and acts as a trade fleet.

General Labor Inc. is a Private Military Contractor (PMC) responsible for the Commonwealth's soldiers. Oleander Drive Yards is another PMC which provides ships and engines for the Commonwealth's Fleets.

Population

The Nephtali
Nephtali are humanoid in appearance. They are tall and lanky, with slightly elongated fingers. Their skin is colored blue or brown with interesting patterns. Beneath their skin, however, lies fiber instead of bone. It is not clear if the Nephtali are plants or animals, as they have characteristics of both. They can absorb nutrients through their skin for nourishment. Due to thier plant-nature, Nephtali drink large amounts of water and thier skin shifts to green in order to photosynthesize. Nephtali children will shed thier skin annualy until they are fully grown.

The Axa
Reptilian humanoids genetically created by early Nephtali scientists. Axa stand about 5'6" but are stronger than the average human. They are genetically encoded to be unable to harm a Nephtali. This has not prevented the Axa from achieving equal standing within the Commonwealth.

Population Breakdown:

• 46% Axa
  
• 29% Nephtali
  
  • 19% Brown Nephtali
    
  • 10% Blue Nephtali
    
• 24% Human
  
• 1% Other
  

Origins

Little is known about the Nephtali. It is clear that the first were created by an Israeli genetics team. After this, it is believed that the original Nephtali escaped with the researchers' data and techniques. Nothing else is known until the Commonwealth was founded.

Industry

The commonwealth has, in the past, been renowned for its unhindered slave trade. Currently, General Labor Inc. sells both sapient and non-sapient genetically created "servants." However, there is expected to be a discontinuation of sapient products due to rights violations, public pressure, and the Chancellory. General Labor Inc. is a Private Military Contractor, and is responsible for the hiring, training, and equiping of soldiers for the Commonwealth.
Oleander Drive Yards is a propulsion firm, most notable for its "Tesseract Drive" and widely used Ion Engine for sublight space travel. ODY also produces military ships for the Commonwealth.
Commonwealth Transit is a transport company for both passengers and cargo.
Axan Armaments is the first widely successful corporation founded by an Axa. It has risen to become the top arms producer in the Commonwealth. AA specializes in non-lethal weapons such as stunners and energy dampeners.

Some of Nephtali's largest corporations are:

• General Labor Inc.
  
  • Rose Labor
    
  • General Labor Bionetics
    
  • Commonwealth Security (CMC)
    
• Oleander Drive Yards
  
  • Oleander Jump Systems (CMC)
    
  • Advanced Propulsion Corporation(CMC)
    
• Commonwealth Transit
  
• Axan Armaments (CMC)

Tech Level

The Commonwealth of Nephtali can be described as a mix between Future and Post-Modern Tech. Space-travel and Genetic Engineering are future-tech. However, most everything else is post-modern.
